The Texas Cattle Feeders Association, in conjunction with the Texas AgriLife Extension Service and West Texas A&M University, will host the 2011 Junior Fed Beef Career and Leadership Program, or Feedyard Camp as we like to call it, this summer, June 27 - 29 in Canyon. This program will be open to any incoming high school juniors and seniors who have an interest in pursuing a career path in feedyard operations and management and the fed beef industry. The Career and Leadership Program will give students a chance to learn about many areas of feedyard operations and other aspects of the fed cattle industry.
This program will be a great opportunity to bring students in that have the desire and potential to be future feedyard employees and managers and show them the many career opportunities there are in feedyard operations and cattle feeding.
The Junior Fed Beef Career & Leadership Program is being made possible through sponsorships by feedyards in the TCFA area and TCFA’s Allied Industry Sponsor companies.
Participants in the program will only be required to pay for their transportation to and from Canyon.
Interested students must fill out the application and return it to the TCFA office by May 1, 2011. The selection committee will select 15 - 20 students to participate in the program and selected students will be notified by May 15.
Please see the enclosed informational brochure for more information and a program outline. You can also log on to www.tcfa.org/jfbc/FeedyardCamp for full program information and an application to participate in the program. Please make this information available to your students who might have an interest in the program.
